Indonesian province on Lombok and Flores
Rescuers have saved hundreds as a ferry carrying passengers, vehicles, and motorcycles burns off Lombok. Authorities report rough seas and a spreading blaze; the situation remains fluid with ongoing efforts to account for all aboard.
A magnitude-7.7 earthquake has struck off Flores island in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, and rescue teams have recovered dozens of bodies and treated hundreds of injured. Authorities have recorded hundreds of aftershocks, lifted an initial tsunami warning after tide gauges showed limited sea-level change, and declared a 14-day state of emergency as landslides and damaged roads are slowing aid deliveries.
